Abstract:
An inkjet head includes a head cap for protecting an ink discharge surface of a print head and a cleaning roller for cleaning the ink discharge surface of the print head. The head cap moves relative to and is removably mounted to the print head including the ink discharge surface with an ink discharge hole for discharging ink supplied from an ink cartridge. The cleaning roller is provided at a print head side of the head cap in the longitudinal direction of the print head. By virtue of this structure, it is possible to reduce the size of a printer body. The invention aims at reducing the size of the printer body by providing the cleaning member at the head cap for protecting the ink discharge surface.
Abstract:
The aim is to prevent damage to the printing surface of plastic intaglio plates. The radius of the plate cylinder 14, of the impression cylinder 11, and of the transfer drum 2, which is located between the units, is identical. The plate cylinders 14, 24 and the impression cylinders 11, 21 are arranged such that the lines L1 and L2 are located parallel to one another. The grippers 12, 22 are arranged such that the gripper 12 of the impression cylinder 21 is at the point P21 when the gripper 12 of the impression cylinder 11 is at the point P11. Consequently, a sheet of paper which has been transferred from the impression cylinder 11 to the transfer drum 12 at the next point P1 is transferred to the next point P2 by the rotation of the transfer drum 2. Since the phases of the plate cylinders 14 and 24 are in correspondence, the stripping blade is stopped in the same relative position in the case of all the units.
Abstract:
A print head is provided with at least ink-pressurizing cells, heating elements, and ink-ejection nozzles. In addition, the print head includes substrate members which form side surfaces and one end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and which are provided with the heating elements; a nozzle-formed member which forms the other end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and in which the ink-ejection nozzles, which individually correspond to the ink-pressurizing cells, are formed; and a head frame which supports the nozzle-formed member.
Abstract:
A printer (5) performs a printing operation by driving a cartridge to discharge ink. The ink in the printer (5) is billed according to the amount of actual use of ink. In a service center (23), a head ID is first input. Then, the head ID is verified against the user ID. The amount of the use of ink is checked. Then, the billing amount for the actual use of ink is determined. The user is requested to pay the billed amount.

Abstract:
A self-diagnosis device includes a diagnosing unit for diagnosing the condition of a printer which prints on record sheets and a displaying unit for displaying a diagnosis result based on the condition of the printer.
Abstract:
A connection apparatus is disclosed which includes a connection source and a connection destination. The connection source includes information about a predetermined connection destination; and a connecting element for making a connection request to the predetermined connection destination based on the information about the connection destination and, given a permission, for automatically connecting to the connection destination. The predetermined connection destination includes a receiving element for receiving the connection request from the connection source, a judging element which, upon interpreting the connection request, judges whether the connection source is a predetermined connection source or not, and a permission granting element which, if the judging element judges the connection source to be a predetermined connection source, then grants connection permission to the connection source.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restore cleaning performance without requiring replacement, and so on, and without adversely affecting durability. SOLUTION: The liquid discharge apparatus includes: a cleaning belt 41 that adsorbs ink attached to a portion where nozzle arrays are formed; a moving drive belt 53 for moving the cleaning belt 41 in an arrangement direction of the nozzles; a moving drive pulley 54, a belt driving motor 56, and a movement transmitting belt 57; an ink collecting body 61 for collecting waste ink absorbed by the cleaning belt 41; and a suction pump 63 for sucking the waste ink collected by the ink collecting body 61.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid ejection head or the like made to appropriately eject a liquid. SOLUTION: The liquid ejection head 33 ejects the liquid filling liquid chambers 45 from nozzles 71. A primary surface 73 of at least the liquid chamber 45 side of a nozzle sheet which is installed in the liquid ejection head 33, forms a wall surface of the liquid chamber 45, and is formed of a metal material with the nozzle 71 is subjected to hydrophilic treatment.
